What’s Been Growing in Our Petri Dish

We had this idea that consumers who consciously choose to do more with their dollars by buying environmentally sustainable or socially responsible products were great prospects to buy more products made with similar values. Then our experience with digital advertising technology gave us a simple, cost-effective way to introduce these consumers to more products they’d love – by enabling companies with similar values to gain access to each other’s audiences.

To test our idea, we conducted an experiment. As it turns out, our hypothesis was correct! Here are a few things we have learned:

Within a pool of like-minded consumers – the combined website audiences of our network partners – predictive analytics is a very powerful tool for identifying those most likely to buy renewable energy, natural cosmetics, etc.

IN CONTRAST, predictive analytics applied to a general population (i.e., not to consumers who have already shown an interest in sustainable products) is not enough to deliver sales to our partners economically. It’s essential to start with the qualified consumers we assemble through our network.

We were excited to see that our intuition about collaborative marketing was the key ingredient to making our experiment work. This idea allowed us to deliver sales to our partners cost-effectively.

The really exciting news is that each sustainable company already owns the solution to its own growth needs, if it can partner with like-minded companies to share access to their audiences. Our network is the mechanism that allows companies to expand their reach many times over.

We convert our partners’ shared audiences into a virtual marketplace many times larger than any individual company’s audience. And we do it predictably, measurably, and profitably, guaranteeing a positive return on every dollar spent with us. When we pool the audiences of hundreds of like-minded companies, each one can reach a highly qualified audience that is many times larger than the audience it already reaches.

Every company that joins our network increases each partner’s reach and impact – a true win/win. Join us! We do the heavy lifting. Together with our partners, we are building a growth engine for each one of them and for the larger sustainable economy. That’s a pretty sweet result, and we do it with absolutely no risk to you.
